Support groups offer:

Hope: An opportunity to interact and meet patients who have been managing their PH for one, five, 10... even 20 years or longer

Empowerment: A way to get involved, give back and say you can be part of the solution when we find a cure one day!

More and more, patients are taking part in our support group network. There are more than 240 support groups and at least one new group is added each month. You are not alone and there's a good chance there's a group meeting near you.

My First Meeting

Before my first meeting I was confused and overwhelmed. It was a relief to me to find out other people had caregivers. I had really been feeling guilty about needing help. At my meeting, when I saw that my husband wasn’t the only person who had come along to help, I felt better about my health and needing assistance.-- Sally Mackey, Sumter, S.C.

Support Group Highlights

Why I Lead

I am a support group leader because I want to connect everyone together. I don't like thinking about the fact that there are people out there with PH and they could be feeling lonely or like they are the only ones with this illness... -- Heather Kirland, Treasure Valley, Idaho, PHA Support Group Leader
